Ellagee ~ Another Notch in my Lipstick Case

Ellagee ~ Another Notch in
my Lipstick Case

Cherry red jelly with both linear
and scattered holographic effect

Here’s the latest addition to my small but much loved Ellagee
collection. When I first saw swatches of Another Notch in my Lipstick Case
(ANIMLC) I was like: WOW! You should know by now that I’m a sucker for holos –
and I have a soft spot for reds too. So yes – welcome to my stash!

Application was easy and the drying time is really good. I just used my
regular base coat, and had no problems with dragging or bald spots – the polish
just behaves. I like that! It takes two coats to reach full opacity.

I didn’t apply topcoat yet – you know I’m not done yet anyway! Here’s
what two coats and no topcoat looks like. The picture is taken with flash:

Isn’t that just gorgeous?! Here’s another one taken with flash:

The polish is more muted when it’s out of the sun (and flashlights).
It’s a bit dusty, but I actually still like it a lot! Have a look for yourself:

Do you also like it in the shade? I do!

Then I made some random dots on it. I made a number of white dots on all
my nails, then I dotted ANIMLC on top of some of the white dots. When that was
dry I applied a layer of topcoat. And here’s a picture of the final mani taken
with flash:

And from a slightly different angle:

Here’s a picture taken in my lightbox. It’s still really cool if you ask
me!

Here’s the pretty couple:

I have a feeling that my small collection of Ellagee polishes will grow
a bit over time. So far I’ve loved what I’ve tried on. I actually can’t wait to
try them again when the sun comes back to my hemisphere :)

I bought this polish from norwaynails.com, and it's your lucky day today if you like it: Ellagee polishes are on special today! You get 30% off if you buy them from Norway Nails - but only today, so hurry!!
